COMBINED WRENCH ANDCHISEL.'

Application le'd November 10, 1922. Serial No. 600,097.

To all fir-hom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, AXEL E. .LUNDQvisr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Youngstown, in the county of' Westmoreland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in a Combined Wrench and Chisel, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to compound tools, and more particularly to what I term a combined wrench and chisel.

One of the main objects of' the invention is to provide a tool of the character stated of simple construction and operation which may be used either as a wrench, chisel, or screw-driver. A further object is to provide a tool of this character which may be readily produced at small cost. Further objects will appear from the detailed description.

In the drawings Figure l is a side view of the tool in the form used for a wrench,

Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the tool used as a chisel,

Fig. 3 is a section taken substantially on line 3 3 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 4 is a section taken substantially on line 4 4 of Fig. l.

lThe tool includes a shank l provided at one end with a head 2 formed to provide a jaw 2*. A sleeve 3 is slidable on shank l and carries a jaw 4 into which is threaded an adjusting screw 5 provided with a nurled head 6 which bears against a shoulder 7 of the shank, head 6 being confined between shoulder 7 and a pin 8 secured in sleeve 3. By rotating screw 5 jaw 4 may be adjusted toward or away from jaw 2a in a known manner.

Shank l is provided, adjacent to its other end, with a cutout or recess 9 which is adapted to receive jaw 4 when the sleeve 3 is in the position illustrated in Fig. 2. .fr chisel or cutting tool l0 is provided with a rounded shank ll which is adapted to fit through sleeve 3, this shank fitting snugly between shank l and the sleeve, and shank l being provided 'with a groove la to accommodate the shank of the chisel. Vhen the chisel is in the position illustrated in Fig. l jaw 3 is held against looseness or play and can be adjusted by means of screw 5 on shank l. By removing chisel 10 'aw 3 can be moved outwardly or forwardly transversely of shank 'l so as to bring head 6 of screuv 5 from beneath shoulder 7. This per,- mits the sleeve to be removed from shank l and to be replaced with jaw 4 and screw 5 positioned withink recess 9, nut (i fitting againstthe outer end wall of recess 9 and the inner end of jaw 4 resting upon the inner wall of this recess. After this has been done chisel l0 is inserted through sleeve 3, between the other side of shank l and the sleeve, with the cutting edge lOa of the chisel directed toward jaw 2a. If it is desired to remove a nut which has become frozen or rusted onto a bolt, jaw 2a is placed against one side of the nut and the cutting edge l0t of the chisel against the other side, after which the chisel is struck by any suitable tool so as to cut or split the nut. This operation is clearly illustrated in Fig. 2 in which the cutting edge of the chisel is positioned against one side of a nut A. threaded onto a bolt B, the jaw 2a being against the other side of the nut. By grasping sleeve 3 the jaw 2a may be held securely against the nut so as to facilitate cutting thereof by the chisel.

With the parts illustrated in Fig. l, the tool may be used as a screw-driver, the eutting edge 10a of the chisel being inserted into the slot in the head of the screw. If desired, though not necessarily, a retaining collar 12 may be fitted snugly about the end portion of shank l and chisel l0 so as to hold the chisel against all looseness or play when the tool is used as a screw-driver.

W'hile I have illustrated and described a preferred form of my invention, changes in details of construction and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the lield and scope of the saine; and I intend to include all such changes, as fall within the scope of the appended claims, in this application in which the preferred form only of my invention is disclosed.

`What I claim is l. In a tool of the character described, a shank provided at one end with a jaw and having, adjacent to its other end, a recess, a sleeve slidable on said shank, a cutting tool provided with a shank fitting between said sleeve and the lirst-mentioned shank, a jaw carried by said sleeve, the sleeve being adapted to be removed from the shank upon removal of said cutting tool and to be placed in reversed position upon the shank with the jaw carried by said sleeve tting into said ivecess(n the cutting tool being insefteble be tween said first-mentioned shank and said sleeve when the sleeve is in reversed position.

2. ln e tool of the character described, e shank provided at one end with en outwardly projecting jaw, e sleeve slidable on seid shank., the shank being provided remote Vfrom the 21W with an outwardly projecting shoulder, a jaw ceriied by seid sleeve.1 e scievv threaded into the jew carried by the sleeve and bearing against the shoulder. en abutment niembeil cei'iied by the sleeve and itting beneath the head oir' the screw, said sha-nk being' provided With e recess einote from the jew carried by the shank and @49eme adapted to receive the other jaw and the screw and e chisel having a shank liting: between the sh enla of the tool and the sleeve. seid chisel being adapted to be Wibhdiewn and che si being adapted to be removed :From the shank el' the tool and placed in ieveised position with the screw and the sleeve ozuiied jaw in said rei-ess when the chisel is Withdrawn, said chisel being adapted to be inseied between seid sleeve and seid shank wl'ien 'bhe sleeve is in i'eveisefl position.

in esliimo-ny whereof l effin my signetue.
